PORK SHOULDER



Pork Shoulder image

Pork shoulder is what they call the top of the front leg of the hog; it's not exactly a shoulder, but if you think about it, it kind of is. It is comprised of two parts: The lower (or "arm") portion of the shoulder is most commonly called the "picnic" or "picnic ham." True ham comes only from the hind legs; the picnic of the shoulder, though, is often smoked like ham, and some historians speculate that it got its nickname because it's inexpensive and thus a good cut for casual dining, not for a formal affair when a "real" ham is traditionally served, like at Easter, Thanksgiving, or Christmas. The upper part of the shoulder, often called the "Boston butt," also known as a "Boston blade roast," comes from the area near the loin and contains the shoulder blade bone. It is an inexpensive cut that's packed with muscle, and so without proper tenderizing and cooking it can be unmanageably tough. However, it is well marbled and full of flavorful fat, and thus is ideal for smoking over low temperature; it is the classic meat used for all "pulled pork" in barbecue throughout the South. At Memphis in May contests, which are the first ones I learned to cook for, the whole pork shoulder is always used. At KCBS contests, you can use either a whole shoulder or the Boston butt by itself. I'm used to cooking the whole thing, so that's what I usually do. History and contest rules aside, here's the best way in the world to cook a pork shoulder.

Yield serves 30 to 40

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 18- to 20-pound pork shoulder, including the Boston butt and picnic ham in one cut (this may have to be ordered from a butcher; in many supermarkets the cuts are preseparated)
1 recipe Hog Injection (page 21)
3 cups Jack's Old South Original Rub, or 1 recipe Basic Barbecue Rub (page 20)
1 cup apple juice
1 recipe Hog Glaze (page 23)

Steps:

  • Trim away any bone slivers from the exposed meat. Remove any visible excess fat. Square up the long sides of the shoulder to make it neat and uniform.
  • Place the pork shoulder in a large aluminum pan. (There's no skin to hold the liquid in, as there is on a whole hog, so the pan is necessary to catch the excess liquid.) Inject the shoulder with 2 to 3 quarts of the hog injection, all over the shoulder in about 1-inch squares. Let the injected shoulder sit, loosely covered, in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
  • Turn the shoulder upside-down in the pan, so that any excess injection that might remain infuses the meat. Let it sit upside-down for 15 to 20 minutes.
  • In the meantime, heat a smoker to 250˚F.
  • Take the shoulder out of the pan and sprinkle the rub all over it, making sure to get the area by the shank. Place the shoulder, in its aluminum pan, in the smoker and cook for 3 hours.
  • Remove the shoulder from the smoker. Pour the apple juice into a clean aluminum pan, and transfer the shoulder to the pan. Cover the pan with aluminum foil and place it in the smoker. Cook for 6 hours or until the internal temperature reaches 205˚F.
  • Remove the pan from the smoker. Discard the foil. Brush the hog glaze all over both sides of the shoulder. Return the shoulder to the pan, put the pan back in the smoker, and cook for 1 more hour while adding no more heat to the smoker and allowing the internal temperature of the smoker to drop. The shoulder will effectively rest in the smoker this way.
  • Remove the pan from the smoker, and serve. Where I'm from, a pork shoulder is not sliced-it's pulled apart in chunks. There are a couple of different ways to do it, with knives and tongs and such, but the very best-and easiest-is with your hands. Wearing heavy-duty gloves, simply pull the meat apart gently and let your guests have at it. You can put it in a sandwich just like this, or you can chop it up after you've pulled it, if you like.
  • I used to wonder why this part of the shoulder was called "Boston" anything, since it's so associated with Southern barbecue. The folks from the National Pork Board say it plain: "In prerevolutionary New England and into the Revolutionary War, some pork cuts (not those highly valued, or 'high on the hog,' like loin and ham) were packed into casks or barrels (also known as 'butts') for storage and shipment." So, the way the hog shoulder was cut in the Boston area became known in other regions as "Boston butt."
  • Here's a tip from my competitive barbecue cooking that you can use in your backyard. I make a little solution I call "half and half." It's equal parts vinegar sauce and water, and I heat it up until it's hot but not boiling. Then I dip pieces of shoulder in it before I put them in the judging box. Why do I do this? Because it keeps the meat from drying out and getting cold. You always want your meat to stay moist and warm. You can do this at home, too. Before you serve any meat like brisket or pork shoulder, toss it with a little half and half and then put it on a platter. Better yet, apply the solution to the back side of slices of brisket and pork before you place them on a platter. This technique will keep your meat from drying out.

INJECTION MARINADE FOR PORK



Injection Marinade for Pork image

This is an all-purpose injection to add to any pork loin, butt, or shoulder meat. You can adjust the measurement amounts to your liking. Keep in mind that pork tends to be a saltier type of meat by itself. Inject into the pork of your choice using a flavor injector tool, and then place the pork in the fridge for 12 hours or overnight. Prepare and cook, smoke, or grill pork to your liking.

HOG INJECTION

_**Editor's note:** Use this injection to make Myron Mixon's [Pork Shoulder](/recipes/food/views/365431) ._ You can make your hog injection in a large quantity and use as much as you need, depending on whether your smoking a whole hog or a shoulder; it's easy to make a lot at once because you can keep whatever's left in the refrigerator for up to a year. That's the way I do it at home, too.
